Sinopsis

Tangled in Silent Normsáby Rebecca Engle is a piece that explores the weight of unspoken expectations, the way society enforces rules without ever naming them, and how those rules entangle people-especially those who live differently, think differently, or resist being forced into molds.ItâÇÖs a reflection onáneurodivergence, disability, and identity, showing how the silence around difference often shouts louder than words. The 'tangles' are both internal and external:Internal, in how one wrestles with self-expression under constant pressure to conform.External, in the systems of education, family, and culture that quietly dictate whatâÇÖs acceptable, without questioning who gets harmed in the process.EngleâÇÖs work pushes back against ableist structures, exposing how 'silent norms' can restrain people more forcefully than spoken rules or outright restrictions. At the same time, it carries an undercurrent of resilience-of finding oneâÇÖs voice in the very spaces meant to silence it.It reads as bothápersonal and universal: personal, because itâÇÖs informed by her own lived experience as a neurodiverse woman and educator, universal, because it speaks to anyone who has felt forced into silence by expectations they didnâÇÖt choose.
